Hi everybody,
I'm not sure if this has been answered somewhere before because I don't exactly know if I'm articulating what I'm looking for when I try to search for results, but nonetheless, I was wondering why during a render it's only using 4 "rendering boxes?" when I've upgraded my ram to 16gbs. I have a macbook pro that also has 16gbs but looks like it's using more power to render, thus giving me 8 of the calculating squares (I don't know the correct term). I've tried adjusting parameters under the Systems tab under the render settings but it doesn't appear that anything is changing. Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help.
I'm using an iMac and Vray 2.0 for Sketchup 2014.

. Each one corresponds with a CPU thread. Macbooks use Intel processors which have multithreading (2 threads per core). If you have a quad core Intel CPU with multithreading, then you will see 8 buckets if you are only using that one computer to render your scene. We have something called distributed rendering, which allows you to have other computers contribute to a single render. More information on that subject can be found here:
